The ongoing journey of the Presbyterian Women is to form a community of women:
*to study and nurture their faith through prayer and Bible study
*to support the mission of the church worldwide
*to work for justice and peace
*to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (USA) and witnesses to promise of God's Kingdom
